Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound ground pork
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium white onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced

2 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
